Warwick Thumb 4

Just started playing again after a brief "8 year" break and just ordered a Warwick Thumb 4 Bolt On. Any stories good or bad on this bass? Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks Much Fellow Bottom Feeders!!!

yeah...they're heavy, but it's nothing u can't get used to...I like the feel of it anyway. I think the Ovankol the bolt ons are made of isn't quite as dense as the bubinga either, so they' are a little bit lighter. But because of the shape of the body; the length of the upper horn, and the length of the neck make it a little neck heavy...u won't care though, I promise u that...

I have a warwick thumb neck-thru 5-string. I bought it for half a year ago and then I thought it was very difficult to play. I used to play a fender precision copy but this warwick thumb was really a tecknique challenge. I'm about to get used to it now but I think that you will have to practice som tecknique but then it will become a friend for live.

hey loui...ya know, one of the things I noticed about the 5 string thumbs is that since the pickups are angled so far back, you can never get a really comfortable anchor for your thumb...on the 4 and 6 string, there is a pickup right in the middle to put your thumb on...a whole lot of difference...

I have the fretless version. It is in my experience a well constructed reliable bass. Its not as neck heavy as my Stingray 5. The controls are well thought out (it has a pull switch on the volume for active bypass) The bridge p/u can honk with the treble rolled off and I have liked pan pots cos you can fine tune the tone as you go, well I do.
